[pink67]

You're very welcome Anthony I'm glad we were able to help you in your research...

Antonio Migliaccio, born: Feb. 10, 1881. Father, John Migliaccio, Mother Anne Marie, maiden name unknown. Antonio had one sister also named Anne Marie who had at least two Sons. Would like any information on them as well. Antonio's sister died sometime in the sixties from what I was told.

From the site Familysearch org the ofiginal birth act for Antonio:

short translation:

Birth act number 25 - Year 1881

Migliaccio Antonio was born in Forio on 1 february 1881, son of Migliaccio Giovanni, age 32,farmer and his wife Anna Maria Impagliazzo, farmer.

Antonio came to America in 1902 working as a merchant marine on a ship and came into Phila. Later married Annunizato Mirgalio. Her Mother was Christina Implazio and Father, Nick Miraglio. She had two 1/2 brothers, Frank D'Abbundo and Salvatore D'Abbundo. I don't know when Christina came to America, but she may have lived in Phila for some time but later resided in Tuckahoe.

Cristina Impagliazzo came to the U.S. on 1903, with her daughter Nunziata, this is their arrival manifest from the site Ellisisland.org:

19 january 1903

Impagliazzo Cristina, age 56, female, widow, from Forio(D'Ischia) to Philadelphia to join her son Francesco D'Abundo. Nunziata was 19 years old and single.

http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0023

The correct maiden name for Nunziata was Miragliuolo:

Birth Act number 61 - Year 1883

Miragliuolo Nunziata was born on 4 march 1883 in Ponza d'Ischia (hamlet of the town of Forio d'Ischia), she was the daughter of Cristina Impagliazzo daughter of the late Salvatore, age 35, farmer, resident in Ponza, wife of Nicola Miragliuolo, farmer, resident in Ponza.
The declaration of this birth was done by Teresa Miragliuolo, midwife being the father of the baby not present.

Once again Laura, Thank you.

Are there any listings for Eastbound steamship passenger manifests. All I have been able to find are Europeans headed westbound to America. In my case my father's family left America and returned to Ischia sometime between 1910 and 1915.
I appreciate you providing those links you provided to back up your research. I have been practicing manipulating the lists an photos. It would really be helpful If I could read and speak Italian. I am trying to teach myself the dialect of the Naples area but the problem is that I have a bad teacher and an even worse student.

[pink67]

Unfortunately there are no arrival manifests for returns to Italy...
On Ancestry com there is a database for Passports issued from 1795 since 1925 to american citizen, but I don't believe that your ancestor was naturalized american...
However I searched the database and there isn't "your" Migliaccio Antonio...

these are the records:

And let me say one thing... you are really so lucky to have online and free the civil registrations for the town of origin of your ancestors... In Italy there are very few databases for genealogy research online, and many people researching their family history have to "fight" with burocracy, have to send request, wait time to the answers or have to go to the Mormons centers and ask them to rent microfilms , wait until they arrive and then search by themselves manually...
I'm italian, I live in Italy and I wasn't able to obtain my grandparents's birth acts from the town where I live... I was able to obtain them when Ancestry.com putted online the civil registrations of my town...

God bless you Laura.

I saw that record yesterday while I was looking. It is difficult to find many Italian records online after say 1940. I was looking for a funeral listing for Francesco Migliaccio in 1946 but could not. I have a newspaper clipping in my family papers that by father brought back.

You have helped me immesnsly. There was always that question as to why mu father and his family went back to Ischia and why his "cousin" sent for him in 1925. I have the record of that return. I also know and have a paper record that in 1946 my father was able to return to Italy on a U.S. Navy ship for his brother Francesco's funeral. He returned on the Marine Shark. I believe that story may lie with my cousins in Ischia or the children of his cousin that are still alive in New Jersey. They are gettomg well up in years. I am in the process of beginning to prepare the form letters to try and connect with my cousins in Ischia. I may never know. But the record that I have been able to compile with your gratious assistance to me will leave me with a gift that I can give my three adult children. I have more now than I have ever had. I am becomming very satisfied with what I have. My"cousin" Joyce in Tuckahoe and I are continuing to investibate the line that ties us together but with my sister, my only sibling having passed away in 2005 Joyce is my closest blood tie to my father's line of Migliaccio.
I am nearing 60 years old and I felt that If i did not research this soon I would probably not have the chance or ability. I just have had a surgery to replace my left hip. It has given me the time to persue this for hours on end. I am recovering well and getting up and around and will be back to work soon.
My next goal is to learn our language, viva Italia!
Thank you for your kindness

Respectfully
Anthony F. Migliaccio

Laura,

I have spoken to my cousin Joyce Antonio Migliaccio grand daughter from Tuckahoe Jew Jersey and she has posed the followning questions with information he has. It is as follows:

Hi Anthony, What I would like to know, if available, is information on the following:
Giovanni Migliaccio - (Father of Antonio Migliaccio, born Feb. 10, 1881)

Parents Manamea:

Did Giovanni have any grothers or sisters.......that may be our connection.
Giobanni's date of birth, date of death as well as cause of death?
Anne Marie Impagliazzo (Antonio's Mother)
Is her Mother's name available?, Date of birth as well as cause of death?
Anne Marie (Antonio's Sister)

Is there any information available on her, the only information I know is that she thd two sons and dies sometime around 1968. I do not know the cause of death.
Is there any information on her sons? Names etc.
Maria Giuseppa Miragliuolo; Is there any information at all available on Maria such as date of death and was she married or had any children
No one in my family even knew she existed. We were told that Annunziata was an only child from Cristina Implazo & Nick Miraglio and Cristina later married Francesco D'Abundo. They had two sons together. Sons names Francesco and Salvatore.

Nicola Miragliuolo; Is there additional information on him? We were tod that he left the family shortly after Annunizata was born and no one knew why. Is ther a date of death available?


I tried to look up some of this myself but I was not successful as I really don't know how to use the site. Any information you obtain would be greatly appreciated. If you want me to reach out myself....I sure will. Let me know.



Love,



Cousin Joyce

Maria Giuseppa Miragliuolo; Is there any information at all available on Maria such as date of death and was she married or had any children
No one in my family even knew she existed. We were told that Annunziata was an only child from Cristina Implazo & Nick Miraglio and Cristina later married Francesco D'Abundo. They had two sons together. Sons names Francesco and Salvatore.

Nicola Miragliuolo; Is there additional information on him? We were tod that he left the family shortly after Annunizata was born and no one knew why. Is ther a date of death available?

regarding this family I found these records...

Marriage between Nicola and Cristina:

Marriage Act number 10 - Year 1878

both Nicola and cristina were illiterate, they didn't signed the document

this baby died at the age of 30 months, this is her death act:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/ima ... 4740_00147

then they had another baby, named again Maria Giuseppa:

[pink67]

We were told that Annunziata was an only child from Cristina Implazo & Nick Miraglio and Cristina later married Francesco D'Abundo. They had two sons together. Sons names Francesco and Salvatore.

this is incorrect...
Cristina Impagliazzo married for first D'Abundo Girolamo and then, once widow, at the age of 30, she married Nicola Miragliuolo...

Marriage act number 15 - Year 1868

Groom: D'Abbundo Girolamo, age 25, single, farmer, born and resident in the village of Panza, son of the living Ambrogio, farmer and of Giovanna Iacono, weaver.

Bride: Impagliazzo Cristina Filomena, age 20, single, born and residen in Panza, daughter of the late Salvatore, and of the living Marianna Polito, weaver.

Marriage date: 8 may 1868

image of the marriage act:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/ima ... 4561_00097
this is the birth act for her son Francesco:

Birth Act number 174 - Year 1871

D'Abbundo Francesco Maria was born in the village Panza (Forio d'Ischia hamlet) on 1 october 1871, son of Girolamo D'Abbundo son of the late Ambrogio, age 28, farmer and of Cristina Impagliazzo, daughter of the late Salvatore, age 22 farmer.

Marriage annotation on the right side of the birth act:

Francesco Maria D'Abbundo married Colomba Migliaccio daughter of the living Giovanni on 29 december 1899 in Forio d'Ischia.

https://www.familysearch.org/search/ima ... 4609_00078

Anthony I must correct myself because the correct name of the village (hamlet) is Panza and not Ponza... I'll correct the previous records...

Laura

[pink67]

Cristina's first husband Girolamo D'Abundo died on 1875:

Death Act number 166 - Year 1875

Abundo Girolamo died at the address of via Casa Polito number 29 (Casa Polito street) on the day 28 september 1875. He was 36 years old, farmer, resident in Panza, son of the late Ambrogio and of the late Maria Giovanna Iacono. He was the husband of Cristina Impagliazzo.

Laura,

Today being Palm Sunday, I put more than a few good words to the creator for you whilw at mass.
Going back to my original request about my immediate family Aniello Migliaccio son of Antonio and Restituta, I have been trying to search myself using the links you have provided for more information about my father's brother Frank (Francesco) I cannot find any birth record for him. I am not sure if he was born in America or in Ischia. I remember my father saying he fought for the Italian Resistance against the NAZIS and Italian Fascists during WWII. I was told he never married. He spent his life in Ischia and died of pneumonia in 1946. My father Aniello traveled alone to Frank's funeral sailing eastbound on a US Navy ship and returning on the commercial steamship Marine Shark. I have that record. I am comfortable with the history of my father's sister Rosa and have an old address Rosa and her husband Domonic D'Abundo who also spent her life in Ischia. What ever you can find on Frank (Francesco Migliaccio) would be greatly appreciated. I am very fortunate to have photographs of Francesco and Rosa. Sadly I have none on Antonio and Restiuta.

Respectfully
Anthony F. Migliaccio

Cristina Impagliazzo came to the U.S. on 1903, with her daughter Nunziata, this is their arrival manifest from the site Ellisisland.org:

19 january 1903

Impagliazzo Cristina, age 56, female, widow, from Forio(D'Ischia) to Philadelphia to join her son Francesco D'Abundo. Nunziata was 19 years old and single.

Anthony, the databases on the site familysearch.org for the town of Forio go since 1910... so it is impossible to find the birth act for Frank being born (I suppose) after the return in Italy of your grandparents...

I believe the best thing to do now for you is to write to the possible relatives in Forio-Panza...

Today being Palm Sunday, I put more than a few good words to the creator for you whilw at mass

I thank you very much

Laura
